Ernesto Sevilla (Albacete, 1978)

has had a bad night (so he confesses) because, in fact, anyone has a bad night.

Now he's better, he's in Malaga and he's about to have a good day, although that, and in an increasingly pronounced way, is already the privilege of a few.

He makes his debut as a film director with the almost impossible challenge of adapting to the cinema the series that for four seasons from 2005 to 2009 made its reason for being with the only camera and the millimetric and instantaneous sketch:

.

Definitely, now is the most complicated possible way of being Ernesto Sevilla, of being a blackmailer, of being in Malaga.

Is debuting as a director selling out to the enemy? It's basically very exciting.

I have always had a vocation as a director although people know me more as an actor and comedian. And what options does a director have to adapt something that is already given, formed and with perfectly defined characters? The series was anything but conventional.

The challenge is to create something completely different.

Unless you want to do some art and rehearsal, you can't record an hour and a half with a still wide angle.

Basically, what we wanted was to turn '

in an adventure movie.

The fundamental thing was to take advantage of the most surreal line of the series, which has it and a lot.

For the rest, if in the series the camera didn't move, here the camera moves nonstop. Do you see yourself running away from your past? No, I'm not running away from anything.

I feel very proud of the

label that they always give me.

It doesn't bother me even if they say it to me with bad intentions, which happens sometimes.

Nothing I really like is ever

not absurd enough. Do you feel like the chanante tribe, fathers of the posthumor revolution as it came to be called at the time? I don't dare to think about all that at all.

You hear it, you hear it, but you don't pay any more attention to it.

Nothing we did at the time was part of any strategy or plan.

Yes, the thing was successful... but, come on, the success thing was very debatable.

I limit myself to working on what comes out. Why do you say that success was debatable? Things are remembered in a certain way.

That of the humor revolution... the truth is that in his day nothing was noticeable.

Our success was very '

'.

Let's say that what happened happened, we were very happy and that's it. P.

What is certain is that a good part of their vocabulary is already universally incorporated into everyday life.

That is proof of success. The truth is that when I hear that something is "old", I feel proud.

Everybody uses it.

It amuses me to hear

.

Cascoporro too...Less intellectual than posthumor is La Mancha humor.

What defines it compared to classics such as the phlegmatic British humor, the Jewish self-recursive or the expansive Andalusian? Before us, there were already funny people from La Mancha.

It's a label I don't fully identify with.

But it is true that his breech defines him, his second round.

Manchego seems bland at first, but that's just a condition that accompanies irony. You mentioned success, and failure?

What memory do you have of the Goya episode? Everything serves to learn, especially when you don't get it right.

You learn much less from successes than from failures.

And of course we learned a lot.

It didn't go well, no.

The memory is strange because I had a great time both at the gala and at the after party and then I really enjoyed the bad reviews they gave us.

I had a lot of fun answering everything bad that was said about us.

They blame you for everything, but most of the things that went wrong, I couldn't control. For going back to 'Cámera café'.

Is it funny or is it simply a disgrace to work? Work in the office is not very funny.

That's a fact. By the way, what do the people of

'?That is secret.

It was not known in the series and it will not be known in the film.

Which complicates everything a lot because you can't make a joke about anything.

Let's just say that the situation is quite surreal. In the film there is a moment where things start to work because no one does their job.

Is that how it is in life? I once had a boss who was convinced that things took care of themselves.

And he was somewhat right.

Many times the best way to fix something is to do nothing.

I don't know if it's very Spanish, but I have met many who are active in it.

How much does coffee time define an office? When I started working in Madrid, the first thing I did was spend six or seven years in an office, that of Paramount Comedy.

It is the part of the office where you mingle, gossip, intrigue...

Although the truth is that the coffee from the machine is always very bad. And how much does that other great moment of the aperitif define us, which plays a basic place in the series? I will only say that the monstrous aperitif of the film is a real one.

A friend practiced it every day... And then he ate.

No problem.

The appetizer is super Spanish and you have to take care of it.

More than the moment of coffee, the true Spanish is the aperitif.

A

, for example, is not the same.

At a

there is no bar to lean on.

I, in fact, am very aperitif. The other day I was on a list of famous singles ... Yes, I usually appear on those lists.

I find it very funny to be on a list of desirable singles... And it makes me funny because if you asked some of my ex-girlfriends, we would surely know the truth.

It makes me laugh to think of my ex-girlfriends seeing me on that list.
